Chapter 238: 0172 Dao Heart Spiritual Communication (1 more! 4k extra for monthly ticket)_2

This competition gathered young talents from hundreds of Martial Arts Universities, including the alliance of 24 schools. Although they had low-class root bones, their relentless efforts and strong cultivation from their schools and the nation had earned them achievements comparable to those with top-class root bones.

Today, our editor interviewed Huo Tianyuan, a student from the genius class 12 at the Imperial Capital Martial Arts University. At just 18, he had already reached the Tenth Rank in cultivation, hailing from Cang City and mastering the Six Harmonies Fist from Yan Zhao. He is one of the top contenders for the championship.

In the video, a female reporter spoke to a short-haired boy sweating profusely at the training ground, exhibiting an extraordinary demeanor, full of vigor, and with handsome features.

The female reporter asked,

"Huo, are you confident about winning the championship?"

Huo Tianyuan gave a slight smile and said,

"In Da Xia, there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers. I dare not claim the championship but aim to be in the top three."

The female reporter smiled and said,

"Looking at Huo’s confidence, it seems you are hopeful. In this competition, there are several high-ranking practitioners from across the country. Who do you most want to compete against?"

Huo Tianyuan looked up, his eyes bright as he said,

"Kunlun Li Yunxiao, Emei Zhou Ziyu, Nanshan Cai Zikun, True Martial Zhang Banshan, Dragon and Tiger Ouyang Rong, Dragon City Lu Chenzhou... I want to challenge all the top fighters from various boxing lineages!"

Clearly, he was a battle enthusiast.

The host was slightly taken aback and then smiled,

"Could you choose just one then?"

Huo Tianyuan thought for a moment and replied,

"Dragon City Lu Chenzhou, I guess. I have a cousin who says he’s pretty tough."

After watching the video, Lu Chenzhou had an odd expression on his face.

"Huo Family, could this guy know Tiger Teeth Girl?"

He forwarded the video to Tiger Teeth Girl.

Before long, Tiger Teeth Girl replied,

"Um, he’s my cousin. He’s a few months older than me, and indeed one of the leading figures of our generation in the Huo Family. He entered the ranks at 13 and reached the Tenth Rank at 18. If you’re entering this competition, you really need to watch out for my cousin; he’s strong. I can’t say much else since we’re family, and I shouldn’t be biased."

[No worries, just curious. Thanks.]

"Considering his low-class root bone yet leading role within his family, either Huo Tianyuan had his epiphany very early, or he might have awakened the Martial Bone Dao Embryo; he’s not to be underestimated," Lu Chenzhou murmured to himself.

Ji Feiyan took the phone and said,

"Junior, you practice both internal and external skills, but this is a national Martial Arts Academy exchange competition. In previous years, there have been Martial Bone Daoists in the contests. You still need to be cautious. I checked the people Huo Tianyuan mentioned; they are basically all champions of Martial Arts exchange competitions in their respective regions and cities, and all are at the Tenth Rank."

Lu Chenzhou was representing the Flying Swallow Martial Arts Hall in the competition.

As the daughter of the Master of the hall, Ji Feiyan naturally took great interest.

Shi Ruyu said,

"Indeed, but I believe Junior can win the championship."

She had faith in Lu Chenzhou, having witnessed his journey firsthand.

Having seen too many miracles, she had no doubt about it.

After dinner, Lu Chenzhou said goodbye to his senior sister and went to his Fist Technique class.

On the way, browsing his phone, there wasn’t much discussion about the upcoming Grand Martial Arts Contest on the campus network, just a few posts debating whether he could win the championship.

[Lu Chenzhou’s got this. Among these contestants, the only Tenth Rank who practices both internal and external arts is him. Even Wang Hongdao is no match for him, let alone the others.]

[Exactly, our Dragon City, invincible!]

[If Lu Chenzhou gets the national first place, our branch will also become famous. Right now, many people don’t even know that Dragon City has a new branch.]

Everyone really believed he could win the championship.

This built warmth in Lu Chenzhou’s heart.

The cohesion in Dragon City was indeed strong.

...

During the Fist Technique class.

"Are you well-rested?"

Mr. Li was almost ready to leave early when Lu Chenzhou returned.

This kid really didn’t give him any chance to slack off.

Lu Chenzhou smiled and said,

"Yes."

He was mainly worried about Mr. Li waiting here alone for the class.

Mr. Li smiled and said,

"Seems like your endurance and recovery abilities are both quite strong."

Men’s most important quality is endurance.

In the training room, the mentor and student were exchanging moves on the mechanical track; before they knew it, an hour had passed. Li Gui looked at Lu Chenzhou in surprise and said,

"Your Tiger Spirit Divine Fist technique has improved a lot."

Lu Chenzhou thought for a moment and smiled,

"I had an inspiration last night during a fight, which led to some improvement."

Li Gui felt a shock inside and his expression turned contemplative.

"Could it be that Chenzhou’s Martial Bone Dao Embryo is actually related to inspiration?"

After seeing Lu Chenzhou’s moment of inspiration, Li Gui was puzzled and specifically went to consult Principal Wang, to inquire if there was a Martial Bone Dao Embryo related to such inspiration. Principal Wang did mention a legendary talent called "Dao Heart Spiritual Communication", which, he said, integrated the soul with the universe from birth, not only offering a high level of comprehension but also occasionally entering a state akin to inspiration called "Heart to Wisdom."

Thus, while Martial Bone Dao Embryo has no distinct grades, the talent "Dao Heart Spiritual Communication" is generally regarded as one of the premier talents within Martial Bone Dao Embryo. However, such talent had long since vanished, and in modern times, there had been no news of anyone possessing it.

Imagine if entering such a state were as easy as eating or drinking.

What Martial Arts could then pose a challenge for him?

Of course, the Heavenly Pile would be an exception.

The Heavenly Pile is rigorous training; mere comprehension isn’t enough.

Li Gui asked,

"Chenzhou, how often do you experience this inspiration?"

Lu Chenzhou honestly replied,

"I’ve calculated it, and on average, it’s maybe once every few months? But sometimes, it feels like it could happen two or three times a month."

Listening to this, Li Gui nodded and said,

"I see."

Chenzhou’s frequency was much higher than that of ordinary people, but still far less frequent compared to "Dao Heart Spiritual Communication", which, as he knew, some geniuses with extreme comprehension could experience several times in half a year or a year.

This kid is tricky...

He and Wu Zun, from the Heavenly Pile Class, had frequently shared their teaching experiences about Lu Chenzhou and found that aside from his Innate Root Bone, almost every other aspect was strong - yet still not on par with those possessing Martial Bone Dao Embryo.

It’s curious that his inspiration is sporadic like this, just as his opening the acupoint in Heavenly Pile.

Could it be a "jack-of-all-trades" type of Martial Bone Dao Embryo?

But considering that Lu Chenzhou is a player who grows with time, he still held great hope for the boy’s future; a Martial Artist strong in all areas would inevitably go further on the path of Martial Arts without being restricted by the ’barrel principle.’

Li Gui came back to his senses and said,

"You can go back now. Oh, and give me the Mountain Lord Fist Blade. You won’t need it for a while since there are no live training missions, and I will modify it for you."

"Teacher, modify it into what?"

"Converting it into an c9 Alloy Void Blade so you don’t have to buy one."

"That must be a lot of money."

As Lu Chenzhou knew, refurbishing a cold weapon often costs as much as, if not more than, buying a new one, particularly a c9 Void Blade, which starts in the eight-figure range.

Not to mention incorporating expensive Great Void Relics.

Li Gui laughed and said,

"Don’t worry about that; I obtained quite a few Great Void Relics from this battle. I’ll use some as raw materials and have the Void Control Department friends modify it, it won’t cost much. Don’t feel burdened; the Mountain Lord means a lot to me, and even if it were lying in a box gathering dust, I would have refurbished it sooner or later.

This way, you can also benefit."

Lu Chenzhou replied earnestly and apprehensively,

"Thank you so much for your generosity, Teacher!"

Throughout his journey, he had received much attention from his seniors; these acts of kindness, like threads of incense, tied him and his teachers together, never to be severed.

...

Time passed.

The day of the great competition among Martial Arts Halls was drawing near.

The Diaoist Science and Technology personnel had already booked rooms in the Martial Arts Hotel near the Phoenix Nest Pavilion ahead of time; this competition was very important for the company, and the senior management was taking it very seriously. Before the competition, the company also planned to have Lu Chenzhou visit the Diaoist headquarters in the Imperial Capital.

His master was also very busy, trying hard to break through to the next level of Cultivation while arranging a gathering with his Martial Artist friends in the Imperial Capital, already planning how to show off.

On January 30, early in the morning,

Lu Chenzhou opened his phone and was bombarded by a series of messages.
